Tokyo Forum 2006

In Tokyo each delegate presented a short overview of the current situation of contemporary visual arts in each place, followed by discussion of issues of concern to both sides, areas of mutual interest, and potential for future programs. A half day public presentation and discussion followed the Tokyo forum, attended by 250 people. Anna Waldmann, Hossein Valamanesh and Margo Neale spoke on Australian art issues, and Shihoko Iida, Kimio Tsuchiya and Fram Kitagawa on Japanese issues.
